July came in with a bang and the month is only half over. A slowdown doesn't look like it will happen any time soon.
My mom came to visit at the end of June. It was pretty weather when she arrived. We drove to Austin so she could meet her Great Granddaughter Chloe and see Josh's home. It was a quick trip but all went well.
The next day the feeder bands from Hurricane Alex started delivering rain to the Houston area. We were spared the hurricane but got some much needed rain. Rain is always welcome but then you have to deal with the mosquitoes and they are terrible!!!
My mom's flight was due to leave on Friday but many planes were delayed and/or grounded in other places so her plane didn't make it so she was rescheduled for Saturday (wish the airline would have told us before we got her and her luggage checked). She did make it home safe and sound.
On Sunday the 4th, we had a few of Craig's work comrades and their wives over plus 2 couples Craig knows from other functions plus our dear friends/travel buddies Albert and Laurie. Everyone swam, ate and swam some more. Craig out did himself by smoking ribs and brisket for the event. They were delicious! I think everyone had a good time.
The next weekend one of Craig's work buddies call to say he had caught a bunch of saltwater trout and wanted to know if Craig would fry them up. We had 2 couples over for the fish fry which was the perfect for the amount of fish. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoors because by now the mosquitoes have taken over so we sat inside under the air conditioner.
This week I made a move in my Real Estate business. I switched to a new broker. I am now with TEXdot Realtors. I am very excited and can't wait to get my business up and running again; new website, new email, new signs, new business cards, everything. It will take a while to get it all organized but it won't take long...hopefully.
Finally, our son Josh has taken a new position with the company he works for and will be moving back to Houston. Josh and I have spent the past 2 days looking for a place for him to lease. We were successful. He has found a very nice townhouse and will be moving in a week. Now all we have to do is get the house he owns leased.
That's it...the past 2 weeks in a nutshell.

Wish you could find something to do with your free time.ha I sent Josh a note about his new job yesterday. That was great news. You didn't tell me about your change in business but it sounds real good. I'm excited for you and hope it is closer to your area for you to work at. We sure didn't lack for entertainment while I was visiting you. I had a very nice time but wished you didn't have to drive in the hard rains and flooded roads for two days to get me on the plane for home. Glad I got to hold Chloe while I was there.
Well, at least we know you're not bored! Glad y'all found Josh a place! Good luck renting his house! Maybe next month life will slow down a little! :)
You ARE supermom! I hope things get a little less crazy so we can come to Houston and create our own chaos for you guys!
